PgUp stands for Page Up key, a computer abbreviation.
Navigation key that scrolls a document, web page or list up by one screen. Combined with Ctrl in many programs, it switches to the previous tab or worksheet.
Example: In Excel, Ctrl+PgUp moves to the previous sheet.
Usage notes
PgUp sits with Home, End and PgDn in the navigation cluster of full-size keyboards; compact laptops often map it to Fn plus an arrow key, and Macs use Fn+Up Arrow. In text editors PgUp moves the cursor along with the view, unlike scrolling with a mouse wheel. With Num Lock off, the 9 key on a numeric keypad acts as PgUp.
